In eighteen-hundred-one the Revolution had been won And Uncle Sam's favorite son had a job he needed done Which brought Jack to a lady, both beautiful and smart? Who found his mix intriguing; a scoundrel with a heart! From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli There was never a leatherneck braver, a Daring Dragoon is he He'll halt the bold advance of Napoleon's attack There aren't French or pirate rogues who don't… know Jack! From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli Sailing around the bloody world to defend democracy And when ya need a fighting man ya’d trust to watch yer back Just ask the bloke right next ta ya – (parrot: «Damn right»!) – It's… Jack!
